This tab/chord sheet is exclusive to an intimate solo performance
Note: All chords and names are subject and relative to the capo.
There are some extremely peculiar chord shapes used in the intro
Notably the "B" could technically be a middle section of a G Maj.
I chose to label it as B because the way it is played the lowest
note is a B.
Notes for playing the song: I tried to place the chords on the lyric sheet
Make sure to note the difference between the D/F# chord and the G/F# chord
Tuning: Standard (Capo 6)
